WebSphere Cast Iron Cloud integration can offer these key benefits: Ability to quickly connect cloud and on-premise applications: WebSphere Cast Iron Cloud integration can help companies integrate in days, instead of weeks or months, with rich connectors and integration templates. Synergy with other IBM integration products: Companies with significant application integration investment can use Cast Iron as the cloud gateway, allowing SaaS applications to become part of the larger integration framework. Ability to collaborate with IBM Mobile Foundation: Cast Iron works cooperatively with IBM Mobile Foundation to externalize enterprise data and processes in mobile applications. Flexible pricing options: Your purchasing options can range from paying by monthly subscription to acquiring a one-time charge license with unlimited endpoint connectivity. Overview The arrival of cloud computing and social media has changed the way we share, connect, and collaborate. Companies of all sizes are embracing this change and transforming their business to engage in new ways with their clients, employees, and business partners. Two trends have emerged as a result of this transformation: Software as a Service (SaaS) as a consumption and delivery model: Provides applications, data, and IT resources to you as services delivered over the network. SaaS applications help reduce the extensive IT costs of application deployment and help increase productivity by making applications available when you need them. Mobile computing: Can help reduce time-to-market, cost, and complexity of development while enabling an optimized customer and employee user experience across multiple environments. With all their benefits, SaaS applications and mobile applications are still part of the enterprise computing platform and must work together with the rest of the enterprise landscape, which can often include on-premise systems and applications. Clients working to transform an enterprise today often face a hybrid environment consisting of SaaS applications, mobile applications, and traditional on-premise IBM Asia Pacific Hardware Announcement AG IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 1

2 applications. Integration is one of the keys to successfully driving value from SaaS applications and mobile solutions in this hybrid environment. With WebSphere DataPower Cast Iron Appliance XH40 V6.4, IBM continues to expand upon its capabilities to address the needs of these hybrid environments by providing rapid access to application data for application developers. This release enables to participate in IBM's on-premise API Management V2.0 solution. This new solution integrates the most important features that are necessary to enable the three most significant players in the API economy: application developers, business owners, and IT personnel. The WebSphere Cast Iron Cloud integration product portfolio is a platform that can enable rapid, no-coding construction of integration among SaaS applications, onpremise packaged applications, custom applications, and generic systems such as databases, files, and web services. The key features and capabilities of Cast Iron Cloud integration are: Out-of-the-box, rich connectors to applications, especially to enterprisegrade packaged applications, such as large ERP and CRM applications: A connector enables you to connect to the targeted application and access the content of the application in a no-coding manner. Simple user experience: The Cast Iron portfolio provides rich capabilities in transformation, integration logics, and integration management. It can also provide infrastructure for custom connectivity and reuse of integration best practices. This infrastructure can provide a no-coding, highly usable user experience. Support for a wide range of integration paradigms: The Cast Iron portfolio includes process integration, data integration, UI mashups, and combinations. Flexible deployment options: Capabilities can be accessed in three form factors which are designed to be easy to access and use: Physical appliance - Multi-tenant cloud service - WebSphere Cast Iron Live and Cast Iron Express Virtual appliance - WebSphere Cast Iron Hypervisor Edition Key prerequisites For details, refer to the Software requirements section.

You can develop integration using a "configuration, not coding" approach, and deploy in the following form-factors, each providing the same functionality: : A self-contained physical appliance that provides everything needed to connect cloud and on-premise applications. The appliance can be installed and managed within a local data center. IBM Asia Pacific Hardware Announcement AG IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 2

3 WebSphere Cast Iron Hypervisor Edition: A virtual appliance that can be installed on your existing servers using virtualization technology. Virtual appliances allow better utilization of hardware and faster response to demands for newly deployed systems on the real appliance, thus helping to reduce the costs of both hardware and software operation and maintenance. Deploying virtual images may help businesses reduce the potential for errors and enable the rapid deployment of working systems for development, test, or production because virtual images are built with known, stable, and tested configurations. WebSphere Cast Iron Live: A complete multi-tenant cloud offering to connect cloud and on-premise applications. WebSphere Cast Iron Live enables you to design, run, and manage integrations in the cloud without any infrastructure footprint on-site. A related product, WebSphere Cast Iron Express, is a business-user-friendly, selfservice cloud offering that allows you to rapidly connect and integrate data between your salesforce.com applications and other applications. is a 1U, 4.4 cm (1.75 in), rackmountable appliance, designed to fit into industry-standard racks, and can be attached to the network via Ethernet. The Cast Iron "configuration, not coding" approach helps numerous companies go live with their SaaS application initiatives in days or weeks, in contrast to a traditional coding approach, which could easily take many months. The term licensing pricing options help enable clients to get started at low cost and grow into larger cloud integration projects over time. firmware firmware can deliver the following sets of capabilities: Integration scenarios Connectivity Reusability Integration scenarios firmware V6.4 provides the following comprehensive integration capabilities: Cloud data migration: Allows data handling, using the WebSphere Cast Iron data cleansing and data migration capabilities, and enables expedited adoption of SaaS and cloud applications. This approach to data integration enables companies to cleanse, enrich, and migrate data from existing applications to cloud applications in real time. Cloud data synchronization: Provides connectivity, workflow, and transformation features, enabling you to coordinate or orchestrate integration processes across multiple applications in real time. SaaS and cloud users can view data that is hidden in applications, minimizing any duplicate entries and maximizing decision making and productivity. Integration in visualization (UI mashups): Provides the capability to mashup information from disparate sources and to display this information using the native user interface of a cloud application in real time. Integration that drives mobile applications: Supports mobile applications by harnessing data and processes from other parts of the enterprise.
